Caritas [Tuesday]

While Robin wasn't exactly ready to drink herself into oblivion after the weekend, or anything -- it hadn't been that bad, though now there were other people who knew that she was RJ -- she was still wary when she wandered into the bar. Tino, after all, might have seen little-her when she was in bossing Adrian around.

Tino, however, was already busy at work stocking things and whistling, in an alarmingly good mood. Which just made Robin all the more suspicious.

Caritas was open, and the bartender was on her guard.

Henry gave Robin half a wave in greeting. "How are you?" he said. "And can I have a whiskey sour?"

It was Ashley's twenty-fourth birthday and the first in memory that she hadn't spent celebrating with her mother. She hoped her mom was holding up okay today and wished she could somehow reassure her that she was fine.

But since she couldn't, she had called the few people she considered friends on the island and asked them if they'd meet up with her for drinks. Tesla had sent a rather generous gift, so she was willing to pick up the tab.

There was no way Hope was going to pass up something like a birthday celebration, especially not when it was that of one of her good friends.

Plus, hey. Booze!

"Hey, birthday girl," she said cheerfully.

"Hope! Thanks so much for coming," Ashley said with a smile. She was determined not to let anyone see how sad it was for her to be spending this day without her mom. "Drinks are on me tonight since I got a rather generous birthday present from a family friend."

"You shouldn't be spending your birthday money on us!" Hope said. "Plus if you do, that totally kills my idea for a birthday present." And yes, she did indeed pout a little at that.

"But I don't want birthday presents," Ash said, matching Hope's pout with one of her own. "I just want to have a fun night with friends."

Rose had gotten Ashley's message about birthday drinks, and, hey, it sounded like something fun. There was the side possibility that she was going cause it was a social event that Dimitri was going to, and that almost never happened, but it was mostly the birthday thing.

Still she'd dressed up a little - her awesome jeans and a cute vaguely boobquake top. Just because.

"Can I have a Coke please?" Rose asked. Then was surprised at herself for not getting an actual drink. What the hell.

"Hey, happy birthday," Rose said, giving Ashley a bright grin. "Enjoying it so far?"

"Oh, fine," Hope said. "But I still get to buy you one drink. Can't let the birthday girl buy all her own drinks."

"Evening, miss," Price said, tipping his hat to her. "If I'd known earlier, I'd have baked you a cake."

No he wouldn't have.

"Thirty-nine," Henry said, "and not seven. I think I'm still tired from all the running around this weekend. But it feels great to be myself again, I can't argue that."

"So far, so good," Ash said, grinning back. "I have a huge wad of birthday cash burning a hole in my pocket and now I have people to buy drinks for and celebrate with so it can't be bad, right?"

Ashley laughed. "Captain, thanks for stopping by. That would have been entirely unnecessary."

"Okay, fiiiiiiiiiine," Ash said with an exaggerated sigh. "I think that works."

Look who got out to be social for his employees in a shocking turn of events.

"Happy birthday," Dimitri said, smiling warmly at the birthday girl, "How are the festivities going?"

"Because, really, you can't argue with people wanting to buy you booze."

Never mind that she'd just argued for a moment. Shut up, logic has no place here!

Ashley grinned. "Hey, boss. So far, so good. I'm really happy you could make it."

And really not the slightest bit guilty about not inviting Jessi.
